Appointment Today

I managed to stay busy at work all day yesterday, in spite of the fact that the phones are not ringing.  I spent my day working on spreadsheets.  I expect today to be a different story.  The spreadsheets are almost done.  Things may pick up next week; schools are out this week, so that may be one reason why no one is calling.

At least I have my appointment with Jeremy today.  That will give me a break in my day, and it will allow me to get my meds refilled.  My prescriptions ran out last week (except for the two I saved to take during the week this week), and the pharmacist told my that I can't get a refill unless I am there for an appointment.  I'll also see if I need to do anything to get another prescription because this will be my last refill, and it will be a while before I see a doctor again.  Interesting that you can't get your meds filled without seeing anyone.  I guess that's their method for insuring that patients are being monitored.  I can feel a difference not taking meds every day, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to being sick. 

There has been some benefit to this time, whether from being sick or being without meds.  It has slowed me down and helped me to realize that I have not been managing my time (my life) well.  By that I mean that I have not been spending enough time thinking about my goals, making actions plans to achieve them, writing a to-do list, then carrying them out.  I've made plans in my head, but I haven't written them down.  I find I am not making any progress.  I am amazed at what I can forget to do or put off for another day if I don't WRITE IT DOWN.  I'm making friends with my to-do list again.  But if I hadn't had this time, I'm not sure I would have realized what was happening. 

It feels like today should be Friday.  This is going to be a long week!  I am working on Saturday.  Although I could use a two-day weekend, it will give me a chance to make up some of the hours I missed on Monday.

Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.

The wisdom to know the difference - that's the key.
